Problem in trying to setup a Scheduled task..

[Michael]

Hello everyone,

I am running windows XP Pro. and have the following question"

I am trying to create a new task in the Windows Scheduler such that it will run on a specific hour every day.

The creation goes simple, I just dragged and dropped the file into Scheduler and defined properties. The problem is:

When time to run my task came - it did not run. Scheduler said it was because of bad Username and Password - BUT:

My user login has Administrator rights and does not require a username and password. So I do not know what to enter..

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike.
